In the last half hour on the Cuyahoga County MARCS Site, I've monitored over 20 different Summit County agencies doing radio checks.
In the last hour I've monitored over 40 different Summit Talk Groups on the Cuyahoga Site. So far I've only found one TG 62754, that I couldn't ID. The rest were already in the RR MARCS Summit database.
That makes since. ThanksIf I understand this correctly...
MAC Talkgroups. = Multiple Agency Communications
MERC Talkgroups = Major Event Radio Communications
When two or more agencies are operating at the same incident/event, they move that incident to a MAC talkgroup. These talkgroups are coordinated by requesting assignment on MAC-CALL. If the incident/event becomes larger to a County incident/event, they then would operate on MERC talkgroups.
Similar to the LECOMs & ECOMMs talkgroups within the State on MARCS.
LECOMs are for Local incidents/events & ECOMMs are coordinated for State Incidents/events.
What does MAC stand for. I am heating some of those TG’s off Stark County’s tower.

Thanks for reply. I was so busy writing down the Summit TG's coming in on the Cuyahoga Site, I checked every group except for Common. DUH.Isn't that 77 MAC CALL ?
MAC = Mutual Aid Channel, for daily mutual aid communications and managed by the SCSO. MERC = Major Emergency Radio Communications, for use only when the EOC is activated and managed by EMA.
